How You Can Help Graduate Education at CSU

Many graduate students come to us already bearing the burden of undergraduate loans. For some, graduate education is not affordable. Some of the 'best and brightest' in Georgia, the region, and the nation cannot come to CSU because of a lack of support. Students who graduate from CSU often remain in the state and region, so it is in our best interest to help them afford a good graduate education from us. Graduate education is more valuable now than ever before!

One of the best ways to make an impact in a student‘s life is to create a scholarship. To learn more about creating a legacy at CSU with a named scholarship or an annual stipend scholarship, visit CSU University Advancement.
